9. Spend more time with family and friends, whose company you enjoy and who always are a source of encouragement for you, no matter what.

Invest in your relationships and surround yourself with happy people and the people who genuinely care about you and have your best interest at heart.

We all need a core group of close relatives and friends who can give us the emotional support when needed.

10. Be humble and show gratitude for everything.

Happy people tends to be more relaxed and focus more on filling the environment with happiness, joy, and fun and thank the Universe/Higher Power for everything while treating everybody alike.

Happy people are grateful for their life and show their gratitude to the Universe at every moment for keeping their loved ones safe and showing them another morning.

11. Focus on what you have, rather than what you don’t have.

I have found that to be content with all that I have makes me happy in an instant.

If ever I start worrying about everything that I lack, I can’t be happy and then I am surrounded by stress and worries to acquire more material things that I don’t have.

I have realized that thinking about material things or having a lot of material desires does me no good.

So whenever I am faced with these problems, I will instantly start thinking about the things I do have: a happy marriage, caring husband, loving parents and siblings, a roof over my head, food on the table and a nice house.

When I start thinking that way, my worries and other negative emotions will be instantly gone.

Try it and see if it does the same for you.

12. Do everything that makes you happy.

If watching your favorite movie or playing your favorite game makes you happy, always spare some time for it.

Or if you find pleasure in playing your favorite sport, don’t waste your time in doing something that doesn’t make you happy and rather spend the time on the things you like to do.
